So yes I've known it now for so long yes it's so long yes to me
If I lost God I lost a girl and now I'm coming to a clearing
Where it's hard to feel pathetic, when the ghosts don't seem leave
And they touch you in the Mourning with their charm
But if slow songs soft on some loss could ever set me to redeem
We would have heard it in the tears sung on a bed in New Orleans
When you consented to be forgiven and I consideredI keeping clean
And you touched me in the morning with your charm
So I said I’d drive, that I could take it, I could take it with my canary
Burn the bridges, burn your letter, let the ego heal from me
in a place where I'll remember but will never have to see
And it would touch me in the morning with its charm
Ok but alright ask me to write you, I'll say what I don't mean
Because it's no good when the snow's good and the thaw won't seem to breathe
For another would be lover tugging tired at my sleeve asking
To touch me in the morning with her charm
But now I call you just to call you mumbled names I never knew you by
Instead of slurring sweetly all those empty sighs I drank inside myself
To keep off endless fears of someone else to let you cry
And touch you in the morning with his charm
So if you go to roam, find yourself alone, please find you know yourself alone
no matter awful whispers never ask me if I'm coming home
to knock again
that boy is dead
please never open up my friend
let it touch you in the morning with its charm
